FODOR'S Starred Review “Traditional Mexican recipes get a creative and tasty update at this popular restaurant … Small plates like chicken tacos with mole sauce are delicious and affordable, and larger dishes like braised lamb shank in ancho chile sauce or chiles rellenos are equally satisfying. Enjoy the colorful interior or sit on the open-air deck for fabulous Sedona views.”

Fox News/Gayot, Top 10 Mexican restaurants in the US “Elote’s elegant food is enhanced with local wines, cheeses and produce. Favorites like guacamole are found alongside more unique offerings like smoked pork cheeks served with cascabel chile sauce, corn cake and buttermilk cumin drizzle.”

The Arizona Republic, Top 9 restaurants in Sedona“Elote is a foodie paradise, so be prepared to wait for a table at the no-reservations, dinner-only Mexican restaurant. The food is worth the wait. On the appetizer menu, don’t miss the guacamole or the Elote, fire-roasted corn with spicy mayo, lime and Cotija cheese. Pick up a copy of the restaurant’s cookbook on the way out.”
